Anything Goes - #366 - #367

Welcome by today, everyone. It's always a great joy to have you stop by our blog to say hello and to play along in our challenges. We have two fun sponsors, lots of great inspiration, a short devotional, a beautiful scripture file, and lots of fun in store. So, let's get started right away.Our sweet word art file shown below is free for you to save if you'd like. It was created using the verse Psalm 95:6 which says, "O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker". When we read the words "let us worship and bow down", it doesn't mean that we are unable to worship Him at church or elsewhere without bowing or kneeling. However, it does clearly tell us that we are to worship, to bow down, and to kneel before the Lord our Maker. What that means to me is that these are all (three different) things we need to do. The act of bowing down or getting into a low physical position is an act that shows respect and submission and lets God know that we recognize Him as being worthy of our honor and praise, and in placing our eternal security. According to this scripture, we should bow down to Him in humble reverence. We can do this during prayer time, our quiet time, Bible study time, or any time we want to honor Him and show Him this high level of respect. This doesn't help us to gain God's favor in any way, but it is an outward sign to Him showing our humble recognition of who He truly is....our Maker. The great Maker of everything. Yes, it is good to show honor to our mighty and gracious God.As always, you are welcome to save the free scripture/word art file to your computer, but are never required to use it in order to play along in our challenges. We welcome you share your all your art with us; remembering that Anything Goes as long as it's family-friendly, and uses an encouraging or uplifting sentiment. This includes any type of altered or digital art (not just limited to cards). You may link up to five (5) projects each week, for a total of ten (10) entries per two-week challenge. The more you enter, the more you increase your odds of winning. It is our desire that God's Word will be a blessing and encouragement to you as we share it. If you have any questions about the rules, be sure to read the complete list of rules under our page tab for "Challenge Rules". Because our ultimate goal is to honor God, we have no other choice but to delete any entries that do not adhere to our guidelines. Please know that this doesn't mean we are judging anyone. We're simply attempting to honor God and follow His rules. Let us know if you have any questions, and thanks for your understanding and participation!

Here is this week's word art. We hopethat it will be a blessing to you.
